Featured Speaker

Ed Begley Jr.

Meet Hollywood's greenest environmentalist, Ed Begley, Jr. Ed doesn't just talk the talk about environmental stewardship, he walks the walk! From installing solar panels on his house, to riding his bike as much as possible, to building a white picket fence made out of recycled milk bottles, Ed strives to leave the smallest ecological footprint he can in his home and daily life. Ed will join the summit by phone to share his story and answer questions from students.
